Given:

Principal amount ( P )  = 2000

interest rate ( r ) = 5% or 0.05

Term ( t ) = 7

Formula for the future value of simple interest:

A = P ( 1 + rt)

Solution:

Substitute the given values of P, r and t to the formula for the future value of simple interest.

A = 2000 ( 1 + (0.05)(7))

A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.35)

A = 2000 ( 1.35)

A = 2700

Final answer:
The future value will be 2700
